aruda Indonesia has announced a plan to expand its fleet by eight aircraft, including the Boeing 737-800 NG, Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300, for delivery throughout 2024 to operate a fleet of 80 total aircraft by the year-end.

Garuda Indonesia president director Irfan Setiaputra said on Tuesday that adding the extra aircraft aimed to maximize the airline’s occupancy rate and improving its network of both domestic and international routes, Antara reported.

Irfan revealed the flag carrier operated 145,500 flights in 2023, an increase of 38 percent from the previous year’s figure.

The state-owned airline reported revenue of US$2.94 billion last year, up 40 percent from the 2022, according to Liputan6.com.

The company attributed last year’s revenue growth to a 41 percent year-on-year sales increase in scheduled flights to $2.37 billion, due to increased demand for air travel after the coronavirus pandemic, while sales grew 52 percent for passenger-only scheduled flights.
